Wines and Alcoholic Beverages in the EU: Compliance with Ingredient Disclosure and Nutritional Labelling Requirements
The European regulatory landscape for food labelling has undergone a significant transformation. Regulation (EU) No 1169/2011, known as the Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulation, established that all food products must include a nutrition declaration and a list of ingredients. However, until recently, alcoholic beverages with an alcohol content exceeding 1.2% by volumewere exempt from these mandatory requirements.
The Turning Point of Regulation (EU) 2021/2117
Regulation (EU) 2021/2117 of December 2, 2021 amended the rules governing the wine sector and has applied since 8 December 2023. This new legislation has fundamentally transformed wine labelling requirements in the European Union.
